This Watercrat Ground and Polished Drill Rod is made by Precision Marshall Steel Company. The steel type is AISI W-1 water-hardening tool steel. It has uniform machining properties and consistent response to heat treatment through carefully controlled chemical analysis. It is a fine-grained electric furnace-melted commercial grade tool steel which is supplied in the fully-spheroidized 100% decarb-free condition.

Watercrat is the most popular, versatile, and least expensive grade of drill rod. The through-hardening characteristic has optimum response to heat treatment and provides toughness and excellent wear-resistance in service. Its high carbon content allows it to be used often without heat treatment for many applications.

Identification of each production lot is maintained, and a certified chemical analysis can be provided upon your request.

The drill rod ends are saw-cut and chamfered or deburred when the diameter is 3/8" or greater. This processing protects other rods from scratching, helps your set-ups and improves safety in handling. Smaller diameters are accurately cut with automatic die-cutters. At least one end is painted red for easier identification of the steel type.

The Diameter |D| tolerance is ±.0003" for rod diameters less than .124, ±.0005" for diameters .125-.499, and ±.001" for diameters of .500 inches and greater. The Length |L| tolerance is +.125/-.000.

The available diameters are 1/16 to 2 inches, number sizes #52 to #1, and letter sizes A to Z. The available lengths are 36 and 144 inches. Please contact us if you need a different size, or if you need us to make any alterations.
